Sir I want to ask that m suffering from UTI the organism isolated found is Esch coli so I consulted a doctor here so he prescribed uroberry and fosirol and nitrofurantoin medicine becoz colony count is 10^5. I want to know if this bacteria is caused by sexual contact or not becoz he said that your partner is infected from this virus tell him to test once. Medicines are so costly and are not affordable. So what should I do. I searched in internet. Nothing like this I found that e coli is caused by being sexual involved. So what should I do. Should I tell my partner to get a urine culture. I don't have any idea about this and don't evn have enough money to do it privately. And don't know whether to trust my doctor or not becoz he is a government doctor and instead of treating us in the hospital for free he charges 500 rs for every single time for just meeting him. Please help me with my problem.
